Abstract:Beauveria bassiana is one of the insect pathogens that can be used as a biological control agent. The interaction between Beauveria bassiana and other natural enemies in biological control can affect the effectiveness of pest control as a biopesticide. The efficacy of these fungi was also influenced by the toxin produced (beauvericin, bassianin, bassiacridin, beauvericin, bassianolide, cyclosporine, oosporein, and tenellin) which may interfere the nervous system and kill the target insects. The use of chemical… Show more
